Can JUnit Parser Task select a directory outside of the job directory?

Peter Kahn_66r05y

I want to split my build into a Build and a Test Job. I can set working directory on script tasks so my test job runs in the build job's directory.

When I set JUnit Parser to look for custom results directory I see test results but get a failure message "Could not find test result reports in the /opt/builds/build-dir/PROJ-PLAN-TEST directory."

JUnit Parser Setting: ../PROJ-PLAN-BUILD/**/target/surefire-reports/*.xml

Has anyone done this kind of split?

Thanks

Bamboo 4.4.2 JUnit Parser bug blocks normal use of shared dependencies. For a viable multi job project one should:

• Create share test-results artifact in test job
• Depend on test-results artifact in subsequent report job
• Add script in report job that copies files to a new location
  
  • Moving directory - not enough
  • Touch files in place to set modification dates - not enough
• Point JUnit Parser at the copied files

Running on linux, I added a script task to copy the files

if [ -d generated ]; then
  rm -rf generated
fi
mkdir generated

rsync -av target generated

I'm told this bug is fixed in 5.0.1 but upgrading bamboo is a multi-week endeavor that needs to be scheduled carefully.
